I just started a beer that will be a Specialty/Wood-aged beer when all is said and done.

I used something new I found - HICKORY syrup. I've seen a ton of Maple syrup added beers, but thought the Hickory would be a nice , nice change. The hope was to find some hickory wood to add...but at this stage all I have are a few different light and medium toasted OAK. Was hoping for Hickory rather than Oak. Oh well.

I think I will get a chance to brew my Altbier either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. I've only made it once before but it was one of my best. I really want to get it in the fermenter since I can't keg anymore. I'd love to be drinking this in a month, but looks like it'll be closer to the beginning of November.

Starting OG was 1.063. Happy with that.

If you just brewed it, you have 3-4 weeks, go and find some Hickory to throw in the secondary!

I need to bottle more before I brew again. That and get friends to come over and drink more now that I have quite a variety. I don't drink enough to brew so often so I'm using my budgeted funds to get some new gear and supplies.
